| Official Name |
|---|
| Methylene-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Cyclopropane synthetase. |
| Unsaturated-phospholipid methyltransferase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phospholipid olefinic fatty acid <=> S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phospholipid methylene fatty acid |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
| The enzyme transfers a methyl group to the 10-position of a
Delta(9)-olefinic acyl chain in phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylinositol, or, more slowly, phosphatidylethanolamine;
subsequent proton transfer produces a 10-methylene group (cf.
EC 2.1.1.79).
